Mr. Cordtz addressed the Commission with regard to the amendment made to the January 28, 1998, Minutes by Commissioner Dove relating to the transportation fees. He first wanted to confirm whether Commissioner Dove's comments were tape recorded at the previous meeting, and Chair Cooper advised him that they were. Mr. Cordtz stated the he took exception to the fact that the Minutes made it appear as though he provided inaccurate information to the Commission regarding transportation fees. He further stated that he has documentation that the increased fees were proposed and the information was correct on January 14, 1998 when he addressed the Commission on the issue.

Commissioner Dove responded stating that following the January 14, 1998, meeting he spoke with Bill van Gelder, at which time the information had changed. He further stated that the word "disparage" should be "dispazity". Commissioner Barker advised Mr. Cordtz that during the January 14, 1998, meeting the Commission expressed concern with the information he had presented relating to an increase in transportation fees. Therefore, Commissioner Dove, volunteered to get more information on the issue and report back to the Commission.

Chair Cooper stated that he actually suggested that Commissioner Dove's comments be included with - the amendments to the minutes and apologized, stating that he also feels they should have been put under the "Communications" section. He further acknowledged that the information regarding the increase in transportation fees was accurate as reported by Mr. Cordtz on January 14, 1998, but had changed by the time Commissioner Dove spoke with Bill van Gelder following the meeting. Chair Cooper also assured Mr. Cordtz that the typographical error would be corrected and the word "disparage" would be changed to "dispazity".
